367. Falling into a trap
In the forest outside the territory city, Xiao Ran and Xueqin automatically became a group, which they had discussed before, because after killing their opponents, they would be relatively safe, so it was wise for two people who were not opponents to team up.
"Let's go to the lake first, there must be a lot of people there!" Xueqin said softly.
Xiao Ran nodded, and the two quickly rushed towards the lake.
There are many complex terrains in the forest, the most unique of which is the central lake of the forest, and a thorn forest, the thorn forest is generally not visited, because it is too dangerous, and if you go in, you don't know if you can get out.
On the contrary, it was the central lake, which they unanimously felt should be occupied first, because there were no supplies during the game, there was no food and water source, and everything depended on the players themselves, so that lake was the point that must be occupied.
With the water source, the next action is much easier, which makes this game that should be a battle royale become a ring match again, but a team ring match.
The leaders in the monitoring room also seemed to notice this, and began to discuss it violently.
"There's something wrong with the format, right?" The crow said as he played chess. "Isn't that just moving the ring outside? What is the difference with a dueling arena? β
"Indeed," the red crow said with a wink. But this is the format set by the lord, and we can't change it..."
Hearing that this was related to the lord, Chen Xiao hurriedly interjected.
"You said this is the format set by the lord, what kind of person is he? What is this competition all about? β
The red crow glanced at Chen Xiao and didn't speak, just made a gesture of shh
Chen Xiao was also very acquainted, and he didn't ask again, in front of these leaders, revealing his purpose too quickly was tantamount to asking for hardship.
"But the situation is indeed somewhat similar to a duel now, but it just helps my research to get more data..."
The green crow had already written a piece of paper, and they didn't know what he was writing, so he had the right to talk nonsense.
Chen Xiao didn't choose to care about him, but stared at the screen tightly, because he saw Xiao Ran and Xueqin on it.
"They're very fast," Chen Xiao muttered to himself. But it doesn't seem to be going too well..."
Xiao Ran and Xueqin ran wildly all the way and soon came to the central lake, but they immediately stopped, because there were already traces of human movement there.
"Wait a minute! It's a little strange..."Xue Qin hurriedly lowered her voice, pulled Xiao Ran to hide behind a tree, and quietly looked ahead.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ran asked softly, she followed Xueqin's eyes and looked there, and finally noticed that something was wrong ahead, only to see that there was a row of footprints on the land by the lake.
The footprints were still fresh, and they looked like they had just been made, and Xueqin looked at the footprints for a while, then turned around and walked to the side.
"Let's go... Let's go to the other side, it's too dangerous this side! β
"Good!"
The two of them hurriedly walked around the forest by the lake and walked towards the opposite side.
There was no trace of it on the other side, and they planned to camp here.
The best place to camp in the wilderness is in the trees, where you don't have to worry about wild animals, and there are natural branches that can be used as beds to block the sun, rain and snow.
The two of them casually found two sturdy trees and climbed them, resting while looking at the surrounding situation.
The surroundings are very quiet, and it doesn't look like someone at all, but Xueqin can feel that there is a murderous motive hidden here, and that row of footprints is likely to be left by someone on purpose!
"Xiao Ran! Come on! β
Xueqin suddenly woke up, jumped down from the tree with a backward jump, and at the moment she jumped down, the tree also fell, and the tree was cut off at the waist, and the cutting place was very neat, and it looked like it was caused by a sharp weapon.
Xiao Ran was also frightened, and hurriedly jumped down from the tree and came to Xueqin's side.
"What's going on! Ambush among us? β
"Be careful!"
Xueqin slapped sideways again, and at the same time did not forget to protect Xiao Ran behind her, but no matter how fast she was, a cut was made on her arm.
This time, Xueqin saw someone in the shadows, it was a tall figure with a knife in his hand.
"Xueqin, are you alright? Let's run quickly! β
"It's too late! We've been targetedβ" Xueqin looked around alertly. "The footprints just now are most likely a trap to lure us to the other side, and then they will wait for the opportunity to strike a surprise..."
"And, they really succeeded..."
Xueqin bit her lip tightly and pulled the sleeve off her other arm and tied it to the wound to stop the bleeding for a while.
You know, in the wild, if there is no drug and auxiliary treatment ability, it is basically difficult to carry on, and they do not have either of these, and the situation is very unfavorable for them.
After the two of them stayed in place for a while, the figure reappeared, and it seemed that he didn't want to let them go easily, and a flash of sword flashed, and the force even blew the surrounding fallen leaves into the air.
Xue Qin hurriedly pushed Xiao Ran beside her to the side, and while dodging herself, she also rushed towards the figure.
She knows one thing very well, the true meaning of battle is to keep attacking, if you just blindly dodge, you will only get more and more disadvantaged, and eventually lose the game, so it is better to take advantage of the strength she still has to see if she can fight that enemy.
Although Xueqin was injured, her speed did not slow down too much, and in an instant, she came to the figure and slashed twice at the person.
The figure was obviously startled, although the body subconsciously dodged backwards, but it couldn't dodge, the clothes on the body were also torn, and the mask on the face also fell off excitedly.
Xueqin finally saw the true face of the figure, it was a day. I, a day of my body. Ben's outfit, as well as the sword, reveal his identity.
"No wonder that knife technique is so sharp, it turns out that I have met a master..."
Xueqin quickly retreated, the other party is a master of the knife, if he fights hard, it is very likely to become a disadvantage, not to mention, if he is injured now, the disadvantage will be even greater.
The man said a breath of incomprehensible day. In this sentence, Xueqin can only understand one sentence of Baga, but she doesn't need to understand that person's words, and she doesn't even know who is his target.
"I always feel like he's not aiming at me..."Xueqin shook her head. Whether it's me or not, it's become like this anyway, and I can't get out of it all..."
Xueqin didn't choose to kill, and she didn't like to kill either, the rules of the competition were that if you got the watch, she would win, so she just had to cut off the watch from the man's wrist.
The man seemed to be very angry, and was very upset that a strange woman had cut his clothes, and he began to chop around.
Due to the frequent use of the knife, the surrounding trees were damaged, and many of them were cut off at the waist.
When the two were fighting, Xiao Ran went around to the side and quietly watched the battle between the two.
She can't help much, due to the limitations of her own ability and the gap in strength, all she can do is to cheer Xueqin in her heart, or make some traps around here in case of trouble.
"Xueqin, you have to come on, without you, how can I survive here alone..."
Xiao Ran muttered to himself as he drew a mark on the ground near him with his severed hand.
Her blood binding technique is actually quite powerful, but the preparation time is too long, if she is given a certain amount of time to prepare, she can trap the entire forest, but only if her own blood is enough.
Xueqin has been concentrating on the battle in front of the day. This man, but now she can't get close to him, just dodging the knife light is enough for her to choke, let alone rush to his side from such a dense knife light and cut off his watch.
"Otherwise, I'll take advantage of the chaos and run away, anyway, my target is not him..."
Xueqin suddenly had the idea of running away, and it was really helpless to entangle with an unrelated person here.
It's dangerous, and it's easy to attract other people, and if you attract people who want to kill you, it's really more than worth the loss.
But at this moment, the man seemed to come back to his senses, saw Xueqin not far away, and walked towards her with a knife.
